SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 526,525,7dated September 25, 1894..

Application filed October 9, 1893. Serial No. 487,626. (No model.)

y citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAtomizers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its object to provide a simple and efticient atomizer for various fluids; and it consists in certain peculiarities Fig. 4, is an illustration of the disposition of spiral continuations belonging to fluid inletports of said atomizer.

Referring by letter to the drawings A represents a hollow stem that receives a nozzle B iitted to a pipe C designed for communication with a source of compressed air, and by means of a T coupling D, said stem and pipe are joined to another pipe E for connection with a source of steam-supply.

The body of the atomizer is a block F itted to the stem A and provided with lateral ports G having spiral continuations Gr that lead out through said block to discharge within a nozzle H detachably connected thereto, this nozzle constituting avaporizing chamber and inclosing another nozzle I fitted to the aforesaid block in communication with said stem. yAs shown in Fig. 3, the aforesaid inlet ports are coupled to a pipe .I that leads from a source of Water or other Huid supply.

In the operation of the atomizer, the compressed-air has a direct passage through nozzle B and mingles with steam in the stem A,

i the product of these elements escaping spiral continuations G" of the ports G, and, because of these peculiar continuations of said ports, the iiuid is given a whirling motion in opposite directions, as shown by arrows in Fig. 4, whereby every particle of said fluid is subjected to the influence of the mingled compressed-air and steam, the result being a vapor of more or less density, in proportion to the nature of the aforesaid fluid and the proportions of the atomizing elements.

Although the herein described atomizer may be utilized for vaporizing various fluids, it is of special value in connection with pneumatic malting apparatus for the provision of air saturated with Water in either a cool or heated condition.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An atomizer comprising a body having fluid inlets provided with spiral continuations discharging in opposite directions, a hollow stem and communicating nozzle extended in opposite directions from said body, a coupling on the stem for connection with sources of compressed-air and steam, a nozzle leading from the compressed-air inlet into said stem, and another nozzle in position on the aforesaid body to serve as a vaporizing chamber, substantially as set forth.

2. An atomizer comprising a body having lateral fluid-inlets provided with spiral continuations discharging in opposite directions,

a mixingchamber central of said body, coni-` pressed-air and steam conveyers leading to the mixing chamber, and a nozzle constituting a chamber into which the mixing-cham ber and duid-inlets'discharge, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 9o have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of-Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.

FRANKLIN B. GIESLER.
